Hi Everyone - I dont even know how to start this conversation. My dad has been diagnosed with Terminal lung cancer, stage 4 - grade 3 - he was diagnosed in Jan 2020. He was placed immediatley on Chemo but when COVID hit unfortunately this was stopped.

In this time he had meningitis of the brain, which started all from an infection in his tooth and with his lowered imune system it unfortunatley got worse. Due to this he also started suffering from siezures, even the nurses have said how he is still here with us is amazing.

He started immunatherapy back in August every 3 weeks and it was doing wonders with him, the tumour actualy had a slight shrinkage and was in a Dormant state, however on the last CT Scan there was significant growth and he has now started having issues with his breathing and finding that he is coughing up blood of a morning now.

Im not to sure what to get out of this forum - maybe some understanding, some companionship of people who are going through / have been through the same. i dont know. But i just feel so lost.

I am in London and he is in Wales and i feel like time is slipping away from us and i am struggling to cope with that.

I dont understand what the symptoms are at late stage cancer, and im wondering is this signs that ultimately the cancer is becoming too strong now for the treatment he is recieving? What do i expect when it comes to later stage?
